Updating Individual Components

After editing a symbol in the Symbol Editor, you can update all instances of that symbol in an open project by doing the following:

Select a symbol.

Right-click > Symbol Update > Update Symbol. The symbol is updated and the highlight on the selected symbol is cleared.

Flag Out-of-Date Symbols

Set the Flag out-of-date symbols checkbox. Out-of-date symbols will be flagged with a blue box in any subsequently opened project.

If you edit a symbol in the Symbol Editor while a project is open in Designer Schematic, any instance of that symbol on the currently opened project may not immediately be flagged. Be sure to use Tools > Update Symbols after you've finished editing symbols in the Symbol Editor.
